Howdy, all--

This Friday afternoon's Alta Vista search was on deformed frogs,
including as an indicator of pesticide effects. Thought some of you
SANETters might be interested in some of these links.

This topic reminds me, somehow, of Loren Eiseley's essay, "The Dance
of the Frogs." Not sure why; perhaps the unutterable background
horror of it all, the uncontrollable dancing toward the edge of the
pier; or perhaps the old naturalist's hand (souvenir of Knowings
more Pan-ic than Promethean. But I digress.). Speaking of which, a
fabulous Eiseley site:

You can read "The Brown Wasps" on-line:
